Running With The Pack!

46 miles @ 17.9 MPH average speed. Mike and Joaquin rode yesterday so they wanted to hold the pace down today. I didn't ride so I was game for whatever our legs could do. I thought it was funny though. About a month ago I did a solo 50 miler on Saturday, then rode with the same guys on Sunday. Knowing I did miles the previous days, they didn't care and they tried to rip my legs off. Just to show them what a team player I am, I went with the plan today. We actually took it pretty easy until 2 miles from the coast heading South. Once we were there, it seemed we had a pretty good average so we did pick it up a bit on the return. I figured I was the freshest out of the 3 so I pulled 5 of the 12 mile return leg. The other guys then rotated once then I ended up at the front for the last mile pushing pretty good trying to hit the 18 average. Didn't work though and I was happy with the ride. It was nice to be the fresh guy for once and take it easy! I was once all night till 4 am cooking tamales so I was a bit short on sleep today. Didn't feel it till the ride was over though ha ha!

Did see Bad Bob, Ron & Dixie on their tandem, and Alex heading the opposite way. Oh yeah, and a set of boobs! That's Winter in Southern California!

About Me

Attention: All comments are moderated.-----------------------------
I'm just a plain simple dude that likes to ride my bike. My wife Gina and I meet all types of riders on the road so I find it entertaining to allow them the chance to see themselves on the net while I document our rides. I record every and anything that we see on our rides so that others get an idea of our surroundings. I do what I do because I have fun and enjoy it so a BIG THANKS to those that allow me to involve them in the fun. Also to those encouraging riders I meet that support the blog.

Gina

Minus One Kidney

10 inch scar on her side after donating a kidney a week after riding a century on the tandem. 2 months later back at 40 milers after cut muscles, rerouting of nerves to the bladder. More than I ever expected of her as far as cycling! If you let a hangnail put a damper on your riding, I won't feel sorry for you! Gina is a champion TROOPER and I'm happy she still loves to ride!
